Biden interviewed by a 5th grader.

I love everything about this video. I love the pre-interview coverage. I love watching "Omara"(?) dance. I love Biden's slumber party story. (And I love that THAT is the story that they chose to showcase in this elementary school video and that such a story was actually in Biden's speech.)

Most particularly, I love Biden and Damon Weaver's actual interview. I like that Biden didn't talk down to Weaver, simplifying his answer to banality. I like that he was clear and concise. I like the moment when he puts his hand on Weaver's shoulder to connect with him. I like Weaver holding the mike up high so that Biden can use it. I like when his little arm gets tired and he shifts it a little bit. I like that you can see in his eyes that he's thrilled to get to interview him. Most particularly, I like that they are now "homeboys".

McCain/Palin can't pay to have something this charming happen to them. Watch this video and tell me that you don't feel like you're looking at the next vice president and possibly the next president, after that.

As I said, I like everything about this video.

Cheers,
Mr.B

Completely adorable! I loved it. Thanks for putting it up there Mr. B!

You know the McCain/Palin people are squirming in their seats trying to find a way that Biden "gaffed" it or something. Good luck, you yahoos. (Is my Obama-love showing? A little bit?)

They did, indeed, have some tight music.
